can anyone tell me what is the best way to travel from nador from marrakech?
take a buy from nador to fes/meknes then hire a car this will be possible if you'll comeback to fes or meknes in the end of your travel . travel by train from fes to marakech in this case you won't comeback to fes to give back the rental .
unless you want to travel on bdget in thise case you need to use just pb transport.
Hi
Your best and most comfortable options are trains. The quickest way is Supratours bus to Taourirt where you can catch the train to Casablanca and Marrakesh.

Your other option is a bus to Oujda and get the train from there, but this is a longer rout

Good luck
Sorry if you are starting from Marrakesh than you can take the train to Taourirt and then take the Supratours to Nador.
In the middle of the building there is an atrium in order to get as much light as possible into the building and stairs and balconies around this atrium add a lot to the overall beauty of the building
I didn't expect to see much of a nightlife in Marrakech - mainly because of it being a traditional Muslim country, meaning no alcohol etc.
That's why I was surprised to find out there are over 200 nightclubs in Marrakech (est. population 600 000). At least that's what the hotel receptionist told us. Well, we went into one that he reccomended. Of course it had to be the most expensive one, which we realised as soon as we payed the entrance fee, which was around 8 euro. It was so much above the standard we knew it was not ment for everyone.
The place itself didn't look anything spectacular, the decoration, the lightshow etc. The waiters and bartenders, however, wore bow ties and suits as if they were working in a high-class restaurant. On every table there was a bottle of mineral water, four glasses on paper coasters and popcorn and peanuts.
I defined my mission in this earthly life to try every beer I come across of. Well we tried Morrocan beer but it was too sweet for us as we were of course used to more European taste. So we continued the night with Heineken, which was the most expensive beer I have ever paid, as we had to pay over 6 euro for a miserable 0,33 bottle.
The music was also nothing extravagant: a mix of everything - pop, latino, r'n'b, hip hop, house, a few of their local hits, etc. Just like home.
The Morrocan people, like all Arabs I suppose, are very good dancers and it was amazing to watch them. Its obvious that they have a great sense of the rythm.
We were soon approached by a number of boys wanting to introduce ourselves and trying to impress us with stories of how they had a supporting role in "The Gladiator". Language barrier again represented the big problem as their English was anything but understandable, and unfortunately our French was even worse.
I was only truly horrified by the statue of a huge penguin (!) which jumped me from behind the corner as I was trying to find the girls room. Well, when you are a blond European girl in an African country, you are invited everywhere regardless of the dress code. We dressed casual as we were working all day and had no problems going in, but felt like outsiders a little as everyone else was wearing designer clothes, full make up etc. Nevertheless, we were the attraction of the evening even though we tried to be invisible as the attention that was flattering at first made us feel somewhat paranoid as the evening went on.
Portofino Ristorante Pizzeria, a nice Italian restaurant with real italian food (and chef). it's qute a modern restaurant, inside, but not pretentious... quite popular among wealthy Moroccans and Italian ex-pats... very few tourists, despite the fact that it's located opposte the koutoubia.
You can have all possible Italian dishes, there... not only pastas and pizzas. However you can not enjoy your food with a glass of wine, as the restaurant doesn't have an alcohol licence, yet. We had pasta - delicious pasta with courgettes and shirmps... and my partner had home-made gnocchi in simple (and perfect) tomato sauce. Gnocchi are sort of potatoes dumplings, by the way... which was even more delicious than my pasta. We did not have pizza, but they looked really tempting...
This is another view of the Koutoubia Minaret in Marrakesh. The sound of the speakers when the prayer time comes is the most powerful in the city and can be heard a few districts distance from its present location.
This view of the Minaret if from the main square Jma Al-Fna.
This square, in the centre of the souks, is surrounded by small berber pharmacies/ apothecaries, and carpet stalls.
Whilst in the centre, local women sell herbal remedies, raffia hats and bags, amongst cheap plastic trinkets etc.
It's quite a lively place, with plenty of local colour.
For the squeamish/animal lovers, please be aware that some of the stalls will have animals or animal parts on display (live iguanas or tiny terrapins- animal pelts, reptile skins, feathers etc) which are used in their potions and medicines etc!
